Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. (Col. 4:2 NIV)
To be devoted means that you make something important to you. Whether that's your family, church, job, etc. we make it a priority. Here God is telling us to make prayer important in our lives. Not just when things are coming against us but all the time. He tells us this because He knows the benefits of being devoted t prayer. Pray for ourselves, others, our family, church, country, & many other things. We have plenty to keep us devoted to our prayer time. He also says to be watchful & thankful. That tells me when we pray we need to be expecting & looking for the answer & be thanking God ahead of time for the answer. God is a big God who wants to do great things. He's waiting for a faithful, thankful, people to devote ourselves to prayer. Why don't we follow this plan & watch God work.
